Ingredient Round Up: Oils

May 11, 2010
This month's ingredient round up is all Omega all the time.
Omega-3 emulsionNow available worldwide, Marinol Omega-3 Emulsion is a highly concentrated fish oil emulsion with superior stability, creating opportunities for manufacturers to fortify food with omega-3 fatty acids and create great-tasting healthy products. It contains a high concentration of the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA and DHA. The stability of the emulsion prevents the formation of the unpleasant smell and taste of fish; therefore it increases the applicability of EPA and DHA in food products such as milk. And the versatile application properties and concentrations make it easier to use in formulations.Lipid Nutrition North America; Channahon, Ill.
